Real. Modern. Quilting

Getting Ready!

Well, the pumpkins are gone, the chrysanthemums are trimmed back and the turkey leftovers no longer exist! Yep, I’m getting ready for Christmas!

A few years ago, our family started a new Christmas tradition. We all agreed to take turns hosting the Winter Wonderland Quilt by Crab Apple Studio pictured below.

Mom, Sandy and I worked on this lovely quilt one very hot summer. While it was 90 degrees in the shade, mom was working on the embroidery blocks while Sandy and I sewed away on the pieced blocks. Sandy is the lucky one to host the quilt this year.

Speaking of getting ready for Christmas, next week Sandy and I will be participating in a Virtual Cookie Exchange Blog Hop hosted by Carol at Just Let Me Quilt.

Joining Carol will be a lot of great bloggers who will be sharing cookie recipes and Christmas traditions. Stay tuned for lots of yummy pictures and tasty recipes!
